Each of the Redshift 6’s six voices features a Demon Core Oscillator, capable of generating up to 16 simultaneous analog oscillators per voice. These oscillators can be assigned in various ways, from lush polyphonic textures to a massive 96-oscillator unison.

To take full advantage of the 96 oscillators almost endless sonic possibilities, the Demon Core Oscillator has various Engines, giving users a range of powerful options to choose from. Whether it’s traditional twin oscillators, supersaw engines, flanging phase sync, or transistor organ modes, each Engine is designed to be intuitive, highly controllable, and fully modulatable.

"Hi everybody this time we bring you the Love Instruments first love interview and sounds at superbooth 26

First Love is a desktop 4-part multi-timbral FM Synthesizer with deep FM editing and waveshaping options. FM synthesis doesn’t always have to be DX-7-style. Love Synthesizers proves this.

Instead of dragging the user into the next operator nightmare, they’ve developed their own playful concept consisting of a 7-inch touchscreen, knobs, and buttons. This is supported by a colorful user interface that tries to enhance this new FM synthesis experience

For example, to create FM, you swipe one oscillator to another with your finger, and so on. At Superbooth 2026, the developers, including founder Kári Halldórsson, showcased the progress they have made over the past few months.

This includes a finished sound engine featuring four polyphonic FM synthesizers, a dedicated onboard FX engine with reverb, delay, chorus, and freezer per part, and the now-implemented 'The Playground'.

Audio Computer Interview London Synth and Pedal Expo 2026

video upload by Take the Fear out the Gear

"Hi everybody this time we bring you the Audio.Computer Interview at the London Synth and Pedal Expo 2026 talking about the beat friend drum machine

Beat Friend is the first offering from audio.computer, a UK-based duo making ‘benevolent, semi-autonomous music machines’. Beat Friend is an analogue drum machine, using circuits based on the ‘twin-t’s from the legendary Roland CR-78. Each drum has a slider that changes the drum’s complexity within one of the 30+ preset patterns, which already allows hundreds of variations on any given beat.

But wait! There’s more! Turning the Enthusiasm knob allows Beat Friend to add or subtract notes from the pattern as it sees fit, either keeping the pulse of the pattern or going completely off piste. It's like having an enthusiastic robot Labrador playing a 70's electronic drum kit just for you.
All the sounds are routed through a Triforce of digital and analogue effects, which...well, you just have to turn knobs to find out what they do. If you’ve ever wanted to base a track on a 7/8 samba through a bit-and sample crusher, then this is the unit for you.
And, sure, if you’re a control freak who absolutely must design every bar, you can control the drums individually via MIDI. It even includes a letterpress-printed manual, numbered to match your unit.
Beat Friend plays in glorious mono and is powered by a universal 12V power supply (included in the box)."
